Forgot about this and hadn't seen the latest updates.
Give the Witcher 3 another go, took me 2 starts to stick with it, but after finishing it and all the dlc’s I can confidently say it’s the best game I’ve ever played.
In fact I’ve sacked off the games I’m playing now and re-playing it. Which is something I never do due to having so little gaming time nowadays.
This is the most sensible choice as I own it and no one really says anything bad about it. I think I should just persist for a good 2/3 hour stint and try and get it to stick.
Have you tried Hellion?
You liked Mass Effect - How about the Dragon Age series?
I'd also recommend trying the Divinity ones.
Others I enjoyed, with vaguely similar elements, playstyle, or just general feel: Assassins Creed (Altair and Ezio stories only), Sleeping Dogs, Portal 1 & 2, Mad Max...
I've watched quite a vids on YT about hellion from devildoggamer but it's still early access I believe?
Played DA, Sleeping Dogs, both Portal games...totally forgot there was a Mad Max game tbh. I've tried numerous times to get into AC 1 & 2 but again, don't really enjoy them.
Hmmm, Dead Spaces, Dying Light, Metros and Skyrim mods (Enderal) maybe?
Can't think of much to match all your requirements as pretty much everything I'd think of you've played or has been suggested.
Played all those and really liked them except Dying Light...sick to death of zombies.
Out of left field a bit, but I'd like to recommend the game: Echo.
It ticks quite a lot of your boxes, and it had me play up way into quite a few nights. It's spooky in a good way.
I'd suggest looking at a few clips without being put off by some negative comments. It's not really a game for kids, and I mean that as a recommendation.
Right up my street, added to my wishlist and a serious contender, thanks.
No mention of the Bioshock series? Have you played any of them?
Yeah, played the trilogy and enjoyed thoroughly.
SOMA
Quantum Break
Dishonoured 1 & 2
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Part way through SOMA and got a little bored, need to revisit. Vampire the masquerade bloodlines is up there in my top 10 games. I previously mentioned Disonored 1 as something I need to go back to at some point.
System Shock 2 + mods.
Or, if you want an all in one mod, try System Shock Infinite.

Don't want to skew my fond memories of my original playthrough if that makes sense?
Inquisitor: Martyr. A bit like Diablo but with a Warhammer 40K skin?
The comparison to Diablo puts me off, mainly as I played two to death
